 Last week the editor of the PIc- AYUNE, spent four days and nights in the metropolis and business cell ter of the West-St. Louis. As we were on business bent, as we'll as pleasure inclined, and had no time for "taku' notes,n will not tire our readers with a long article.
 On the way up, we had fine view of some romantic and pretty scenery from the car window, in the northern part of this State and s. w. Missouri; along here the Iron Mountain winds along the banks of the Black river for forty miles or more, among mountains and hills. h crossing over Hogan mountain, for seven miles each way the grade is over POO feet to the mile. and an extra engine pushes up hill, all trains. The scene by moonlight was particu. larly fine.
 As our readers should know, St. Louis is one of tke first cities of the land, with about 400, ,O0O popu- lation. There are in 1t many places and things of interest, among the most noted being the Fair grounds in which the zoolog- ical gardens are located, the Expo sition, Shaws Garden. the Steel bridge, water works, brewerles, shot towers, and manufacturing enterprises. Most of these we visited, but space aud time forbid detailed account of them all.
 The St. Louis annual Fair is said to be second to none other in the nation. Its grounds are very large and elegantly and conve- niently fitted up with buildings, race tracks. etc, a grand showing is made in the agricultural and mechanical departments, and the stock and cattle show IS a grand sight; one of the finest race tracks in tho world, the races of renowned trottcrs can he witness ed from a large amphitheatre and grand stand. Here the zoolo9ical gardens, containing species of nearly every animal, fowl, reptile and fish, known, nay be seen and examined free of cost.
 The grcal st. Louis Exposition is one of the main attractions of the city. h it may be seen the wonderful works of man in every department of life, especially Is American manufacture, mechan- ism and ingenuity, displayed. The building is immense size. covering several blocks. Gilnore's hand with 12O instruments, give daily concerts in the music hall.
